Well, you've read the notes, the notes were fickle, and now it is time for you to post until the fickle cows come home.

And the word of the day is: SALUBRIOUS!

And now - Dino at the piano.

Notes deeked. Geeked.

Phrase of the notes: “Jurassic slumber.”

Why can't I upload pictures??  It was working yesterday.

Hello, Rodzinski!

TOD: Hearing Dionne Warwick songs on what was, for me, oldies radio, and finding a singularity to them. Maybe my first time seeing the name, though, was on the inner sleeve of a Herb Alpert LP, the one with “This Guy’s in Love With You” on it, coincidentally. A&M Records always had good inner sleeves for staring at other records for sale. And I saw his LP “Reach Out.” Then I might’ve put together that he wrote that Herb Alpert song. And didn’t that horn and arrangement sound like “Close to You” on my sister’s Carpenters Greatest Hits album, also on A&M? Just connecting dots until it seemed like he was everywhere.

Hiya, G! Toilets in place?

Hiya, G! Toilets in place?

One is.  The other will be installed later today.

TOD:  I think my first awareness of the name Burt Bacharach was either in the credits of CASINO ROYALE, or the credits for PROMISES PROMISES.

Is it possible that the soundtrack to LOST HORIZON was out and available before the word got out that the movie was not good? I seemed to recall knowing and mostly enjoying the songs before the various premiere hoopla events for the movie were on TV.

Good morning, all!

[elmore3003]

I slept rather well, but the weather isn't helping. It's either too warm in the apartment at bedtime at the momet, and then around 2:00 it;s too cold in the apartment and I have to fight the cats to get blankets t cover my freezing. I'll be happy when this period of Indian Summer is over.

Yesterday, I got a beautiful review for Annabelle & Thatch from former DR Tomovoz:
If you're like me and immerse yourself in a book
There is a treasure that I can recommend to you
Where the characters inside will touch your heart
As affectionate cats and kittens are prone to do

A book that is based on a reality of a love shared
The adventures of two cats will make you smile
You'll meet their human and avian friends as well
I guarantee you'll be charmed by the writer's style

One of those books not to be kept on your shelf
The characters will need to be close to your side
Their reality you will need to share with loved ones
(I'll confess there were situations when I cried)

At last the perfect gift for friends who understand
That a family is far more than those sharing a name
There are bonuses if you love theatre and New York
A stella gift; your view of cats will never the same

[elmore3003]

And speaking of Annabelle, eight years ago today, I attended a pet adoption event at Union Square and home with a young, maybe 8-10 month-old cat named Annabelle. In that one day, my life changed forever. This photo was taken in her first week with me.

HAPPY GOTCHA DAY, DR elmore3003!!!

[Jrand75]

Congrats to DR LAURA and DR GEORGE on their millstones.

[Jrand75]

I remember really liking Do You Know The Way to San Jose and Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head.

DR  JOHN G Ii think I got the Lost Horizon soundtrack from the record club before the movie was in wide release.

[John G.]

Good morning, all.

[John G.]

Bad night of sleep. I want a do-over.

And the word of the day is: SALUBRIOUS!

Didn’t someone here rhyme that with lugubrious?

[elmore3003]

I liked the Dionne Warwick songs I heard on the radio, but I never recognized the Bacharach name until I got the OBC recording of Promises Promises and flew to New York in August 1969 to see it. In the souvenir program and playbill I learned that a lot of songs I'd liked on the radio were by the show's composer.

[John G.]

Burt was always there by the time I came along. His work with Dionne Warwick was a part of the scene from my first awareness of music. Amazing run.
